The "My wifes going to kill me" Black Friday 2019 Edition

[hinch]

from a company like shelby you'd expect more :( my wheels came from LMR the amount of protection around the rim's and packed between the wheels and the cardboard was insane plus they'd used the thickest cardboard i'd ever seen for the boxes not a mark on them by time they got to me.

The wheels were ordered from Shelby and sent by Drake Automotive.

I was a little surprised by the lack of packaging. The front has a thing layer of foam and a plastic strip that holds it in place, the wheel is then put into a plastic bag and then into cardboard box and a sheet of card then lays over the front of the wheels. The back of the wheels are only protected by the plastic bag and the cardboard box.

I've gone for the digital dash upgrade.

I've been tempted by that, you'll have to keep us updated with your progress

When I bought my wheels they only came from JW Racing (Although they had ordered from the states) came in the box same as yours with only a small cloth type cover over but had additional cardboard over the face of the wheel, sent with zero problems (Although they did forget the wheel nuts - but sent out the following day when I called).

I know that theres not loads of retailers in the UK but I must be honest, as i have seen loads of people with problems with buying from the US I will keep using JW Racing or Nemisis as they are very good.

What if the boxes are all still on their way?

Some wheels were going in clearance here.

I said to my wife

"There is a deal on some wheels, If I get another set I can run winter tyres"
"How much?"
"£1200"
"I prefer you to be safe, get the wheels, I want you to have winter tyres"

Have you got the dash in yet ? It's something I would like to do, where did you buy it from ?

 

[GR11M]

Still no update from Shelby, will be 3 weeks on Monday. No doubt I'll have to threaten them with reversing the transaction on my credit card again, like I did with AM.

So here's some pics:

My other box of goodies is still sat with Yodel

Me: The tracking on my parcel isn't updating
Yodel: What's the shipping address ?
Me: 1 Mustang Road
Yodel: There's a problem with the shipping address
Me: What's the address on the parcel ?
Yodel: The same as the one you just gave me
Me: So where's the problem ?
Yodel: I'll get this marked for shipping ASAP
